CBS Sports NFL play-by-play broadcaster Ian Eagle told Rich Eisen an anecdote on The Rich Eisen Show illustrating how the Cleveland Browns were functioning just before the team fired head coach Hue Jackson, now a special assistant to head coach Marvin Lewis for the Cincinnati Bengals.

It's funny because we look back now on that meeting - and Dan Fouts asked (Hue Jackson) in the meeting - he said, 'Well, you've got Baker Mayfield. Why aren't you running more of the stuff that he ran at Oklahoma? The run-pass option stuff.' And Hue said, 'Uh, yeah! Great question. I agree.' And Dan says, 'Well, what's the answer?' And he goes, 'I ... I agree.' And we walk out of there thinking, 'What is going on here?' And obviously that was the end of the line. They'd lose that game. Baker was great in the sit-down. We were really impressed. ... We walked out of there thinking, 'Wow, this guy has legitimate leadership qualities.' But there was something amiss, even in some of our questions regarding the offense. Regarding Todd Haley. Regarding Hue Jackson. And we were not shocked when they made the decision. That just seemed to be complete, disorganized chaos behind the scenes.
